  • Obama: Israelis Suspicious Of Me Because My Middle Name Is Hussein

    Obama: Israelis Suspicious Of Me Because My Middle Name Is Hussein Obama spoke to Israeli Channel 2’s Yonit Levy Washington - U.S. President Barack Obama told Israeli Channel 2 News that he believed Israel would not try to surprise the U.S. with a unilateral attack on Iran. In an interview aired Thursday evening, Obama was asked whether he was concerned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would try to attack Iran without clearing the move with the U.S., to which the president replied “I think the relationship between Israel and the U.S. is sufficiently strong that neither of us try to surprise...

  • Financial regulation bill dictates ethnic, gender quotas

    Financial regulation bill dictates ethnic, gender quotas POSTED AT 12:55 PM ON JULY 8, 2010 BY ED MORRISSEY Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, and Barack Obama insist that the new financial regulation bill pending a vote in the Senate is a necessity to restore stability to troubled markets. Instead, it looks as though Democrats have been more concerned about quota systems than economic growth. Buried deep within the bill is a requirement for all regulatory agencies with jurisdiction in economic arenas to start beancounting based on ethnicity and gender, as Diana Furchtgott-Roth discovered: In addition to this bill’s well-publicized plans to...
  • Is anyone else nauseated by Anne Compton? (vanity)

    07/07/2010 11:16:14 AM PDT · by hecht · 17 replies
    At he top of each hour, whenever I liste to Rush/Hannity/Levin, the Obama Broadcasting Company comes on with the news. It strikes me that Compton not only gives the Obama talking points, but also with her out of breath talking style sounds like she is having "tingles". Will the real Anne Compton please stand up!
  • The Star Spangled Banner’s Fourth Verse

    The Star Spangled Banner’s Fourth Verse Most people only know of the first verse to the National Anthem. Indeed, many probably never even knew there was more than that. Here is the National Anthem in its entirety: Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight, O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does...

  • Joel Pollak for Congress in IL-9

    05/20/2010 6:09:16 PM PDT · by hecht · 119+ views
    Joel Pollak for Congress in IL-9 Joel Pollak is a Republican running for Congress in Illinois' 9th district against J Street-backed Jan Schakowsky. J Street's leaders argue that they are providing greater space for debate on Israel in Washington and within the Jewish community. That is perhaps a noble goal, but in my experience J Street has yet to prove its commitment to it. Each time I have met J Street members, I have told them I would be happy to address their group if they would invite Rep. Jan Schakowsky as well, so that we could have a real...
  • ELEVEN DAYS LATE

    ELEVEN DAYS LATE Posted by John at 6:40 PM Earlier today, Janet Napolitano appointed Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Thad Allen to coordinate the federal response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. That's great, but the oil rig blew up eleven days ago, on April 20. In the meantime, the oil slick has tripled in size over the last two days and is approaching the Gulf coast. Now there is speculation that the oil could make its way all the way to the Atlantic. President Obama, reversing an earlier announcement, made hasty plans to visit the Gulf tomorrow....
  • The real reason liberals accuse Tea Partiers of racism

    The real reason liberals accuse Tea Partiers of racism I have said something like this before, but at the risk of being a bore, and because of the times in which we live, I will repeat myself: The real reason liberals accuse Tea Partiers of racism is that contemporary American-style liberalism is in rigor mortis. Liberals have nothing else to say or do. Accusations of racism are their last resort. The European debt crisis — first Greece, then Portugal and now Spain (and Belgium, Ireland and Italy, evidently) — has shown the welfare state to be an unsustainable economic system....
  • So Who’s Going To Play Candidate Obama?

    So Who’s Going To Play Candidate Obama? By TIM ADLER | Thursday April 29, 2010 @ 10:09am GMT Open TV and Film, the London-based production company, is developing a TV mini-series based on Barack Obama’s days on the campaign trail. ITV Studios USA is co-developing the project. Simon Shaps, chairman of Open, has optioned Newsweek journalist Richard Woolfe’s book Renegade: The Making of a President. The author was granted unique access to Obama during the campaign. Shaps – who used to be ITV’s director of television -- told me: “It is early days, but we are sure there will no...
  • How Mexico Treats Its Illegal Aliens

    How Mexico Treats Its Illegal Aliens Mexican President Felipe Calderon has accused Arizona of opening the door "to intolerance, hate, discrimination and abuse in law enforcement." But Arizona has nothing on Mexico when it comes to cracking down on illegal aliens. While open-borders activists decry new enforcement measures signed into law in "Nazi-zona" last week, they remain deaf, dumb or willfully blind to the unapologetically restrictionist policies of our neighbors to the south. The Arizona law bans sanctuary cities that refuse to enforce immigration laws, stiffens penalties against illegal alien day laborers and their employers, makes it a misdemeanor for...

  • No More Beer Summits: Tea Party ‘N-Word’ Incident Didn’t Happen

    No More Beer Summits: Tea Party ‘N-Word’ Incident Didn’t Happen, And the Congressional Black Caucus Owes America an Apology by Andrew Breitbart Rep. Andre Carson wants to change the subject. I don’t blame him. On April 13, 2010 he told AP reporter Jesse Washington, “I think we need to move toward a dialogue that explores why this kind of divisive and reprehensible language is still making it into our political debate.” The “divisive and reprehensible language” that Rep. Carson is referring to is his claim that while he left the Cannon office building on March 20 with Rep. John Lewis,...
  • Gaddafi: Obama from Arab Descent, a 'Blessing' to Muslim World

    Gaddafi: Obama from Arab Descent, a 'Blessing' to Muslim World by Hana Levi Julian Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi blessed U.S. President Barack Obama as a “friend” over the weekend in a speech published by the London-based al-Hayat newspaper, labeling him “an African from Arab descent, from Muslim descent.” Gaddafi's speech was delivered in the city of Sirt at an event marking the 24th anniversary of a U.S. attack on Libya. Gaddafi was quoted by the Arabic-language newspaper as saying that any dispute between Libya and the United States had since vanished. “Now, ruling America is a black man from our...
  • Trivial Pursuit- from John Goodman's Health Policy Blog

    04/13/2010 7:42:47 PM PDT · by hecht · 2 replies · 303+ views
    Revolutionary. There’s no other word that more aptly describes the health reform that was just enacted. It will affect everyone. Every employee. Everyone on Medicare. Everyone on Medicaid. It will even affect those who choose to remain uninsured. It will give the federal government enormous control over a sector that spends one out of every six dollars in our economy. Once fully phased in, the ten-year costs will approach $2.5 trillion — and maybe more. Given all that, does anyone find the way the president talks about health care these days a bit strange? As I said in my post...

    Obama's friends Dem Jews' Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Chinese leader Dalai Lama get backdoor treatment at the White House, but among those getting front door treatment, according to White House visitors' records, are Billy Ayers, Louis Farrakhan and family, Jeremiah Wright, Al Sharpton and Jesse ("Hymietown") Jackson. There are consequential, disturbing revelations to be found when flipping through the visitors list at the White House. Bill Ayers is there no less than three times, Louis Farrakhan at least once, but there is also a separate visit for his family, and the infamous hater Jeremiah Wright is there at least...
  • What will he say when he gets to 'Next Year in Jerusalem'?

    What will he say when he gets to 'Next Year in Jerusalem'? About ten days ago, I posted an open letter from David Wilder, the spokesman of the Hebron Jewish community, in which Wilder asked a number of pointed questions about the Pesach seder of Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod, President Obama's court Jews. The questions included the following: What I really want to know is not how you begin your family Seder, rather, how you end it. Normally, Jews finish the night’s ceremony declaring “Next year in Jerusalem” or Next year in the rebuilt Jerusalem.” Rahm Emanual and David...
